Overall: My personal opinion: A nice APA but nothing to get all excited about. If I am out at a restaurant or pub I would want to know about other offerings rather than just say "Give me a Mirror Pond".

L- Pours a hazy reddish orange with a thin foamy white head. Good lacing.S- smells a malty, slightly citrus hop that is not overbearing.T- Bitter hop with slight citrus. Malt is more present in this APA than most. The bitter sticks around. Nice balance aroundF- As smooth as any APA Ive had. Bitter, yet crisp clean finish.O- Great overall APA, in which the balance and mouthfeel is its best quality.

Reviewed after many years of enjoying, from a single (from a mixed pack) into an imperial pintA: dark goldish amber, 2 finger tight headS: cacade hops (grass, pine, citrus) balancing caramel and bready malts that might just barely win out. t and m: great layers that follow the nose but are more compelling; little more fruit than in the nose; finishes medium dry; nice body for a pale.

12oz bottle best by 2/18/14 poured into a pint glassA: Light orange color, slightly hazy with a 1/2-finger headS: Clean - light malt, light hops, a whiff of florals and just a hint sweetT: So clean/pure. Floral, a hint earthy, with a malt backbone and a bit of hop bitterness for a fresh biteM: Light-bodied and crispO: I would like this better if the aromas/flavors were a bit bolder. That being said, everything is so pure with not a flaw to be found even if on the light side this is not to be missed
